Abstract

The task of land claims in East Timor is unusually complex and difficult. This article, therefore, simply attempts a preliminary assessment. It does not seek to provide answers or recommendations as such, but rather a basic chronology of events, and typology of current and future land claims. The picture will be incomplete, and a primary purpose will be to indicate what further information is required. Nevertheless, it is hoped that the information provided will be enough to begin debate, particularly in the Australian legal profession, on means of assistance and appropriate ways forward.

Keywords: land claims, east timor, post conflict
